About our corporate fish and chip catering in Halfway Houses
Everything is cooked as people come up, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. Typical bookings include open days and customer events and retirement send-offs, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Around Halfway Houses, teams work at farms, workshops and units. The van works at any of them. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Lunchtime staff treats in Halfway Houses are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:50pm in December or 7:00pm in late September.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- We pack up and leave the space as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Name one person we can call on the day

Common questions in Halfway Houses
What’s the nearest station to Halfway Houses?
The closest is Queenborough station, roughly 1 mile away.
Could you trade in Barton's Point Coastal Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes. Visitors love it.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
For event organisers in Halfway Houses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Other occasions in Halfway Houses
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
